The deposition of newly synthesized fibrillin into the matrix was greatly reduced (13 % of normal), however, suggesting that the internally deleted mutant fibrillin-1 molecules are secreted and exert a dominant-negative effect on extracellular microfibril assembly.
Each has a signal sequence (55 amino acids and 49, respectively), a second domain containing an EGF-like repeat, a proline/glycine rich region, a fibrillin motif [ 17 ] , an EGF calcium-binding repeat, and a TGF-β repeat (390 and 389 amino acids, respectively), a third domain containing a proline/glycine rich region (113 and 111 amino acids, respectively), a fourth domain containing numerous calcium-binding type II EGF-like modules (D/N)(I/V)(D/N)(E/D)C 1 (678 and 677 amino acids, respectively) and a fifth carboxyl-terminal domain (5 and 21 amino acids, respectively) (human LTBP-3 information was obtained from the GenBank database accession no.
To search for additional large genomic rearrangements, we carried out Southern analyses of BamH I, Sac I and Bgl II digested genomic DNA from 18 fibroblasts strains that were negative for FBN1 mutation screening by other methods, but had shown abnormal fibrillin biosynthetic profiles by pulse-chase analysis.
In Case 2 with del exons 44-46, fibrillin synthesis was normal (109% of control), indicating that the mutant fibrillin molecules are stable.
In this patient's fibroblasts, fibrillin synthesis was 41% of control and deposition was reduced to 5%, while the mutant mRNA level was normal as shown here in Fig.
